Michael Beasley has an estimated net worth of $10 million
Michael Beasley is an American professional basketball player with an estimated net worth of $10 million. Beasley is a power forward/small forward for the Miami Heat. He is 6’10″ and weighs 236 pounds. Michael Paul Beasley, Jr. was born on January 9, 1989 in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Beasley grew up with four siblings in Maryland and was already a standout playing for his AAU teams, where he partnered with former NBA star Kevin Durant among others. He attended six different high schools but still managed to average 29 points and 16 rebounds as a senior, prompting a bevy of attention from college basketball programs. He was named a McDonald’s All-American and won the MVP of the McDonald’s All-American Game in 2007.
Beasley decided to play for Kansas State in college and had among the best freshman seasons in recent history, averaging 26.2 points and 12.4 rebounds, on his way to 28 double-doubles, three 40-point games and a 53.7 field goal percentage. He led Kansas State to the NCAA tournament, but the team lost in the second round. After only one season, Beasley elected to enter the 2008 NBA Draft and was selected with the second overall pick by the Miami Heat. Beasley played two years with the Heat putting up average numbers, 13.9 and 14.8 points, respectively, before he was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2010 to clear cap space as the Heat landed LeBron James and Chris Bosh.
His first year in Minnesota, Beasley averaged a career-high 19.2 points in 73 games, but that dropped off the next year to only 11.5 points. He was traded again in 2012 to the Phoenix Suns where he averaged 10.1 points. Although Beasley has shown flashes of the offensive juggernaut he was in college in the pros, his defense and rebounding have fallen off significantly against better competition. Also, he has repeatedly gotten into off the court trouble, starting in the rookie orientation program before his fist year. A year later he checked into rehab, allegedly with a marijuana problem. He was arrested in 2013 on suspicion of marijuana possession in Arizona. Despite his troubles, Beasley returned to the Heat before the 2013-2014 season and has said he is determined to get his career straightened out as a member of the two-time defending champs. He is not married but has a daughter and son.
